Ugly looking mixed graph with non-contagious sample

Dear Eviewers,

I use EVIEWS 11, 17 sept 2019 build, 64 bit

I am wondering why mixed graphs look so ugly with a non-contagious sample and what can be done to improve the design.
The example program below generates two graphs, gra1 and gra2. gra1 is a simple bar chart, and it looks good. In contrast, gra2 is a mixed chart which looks ugly (graph is too small, not centered but shifted to the left of the graphics frame). Why is this so, and how could gra2 be improved?

Kind regards,
mamo

Code: Select all

wfcreate a 2000 2010 series x=10*nrnd series y=7*nrnd series z=x+y group gr x y z smpl 2000 2000 2010 2010 freeze(mode=overwrite, gra1) gr.mixed line(3) stackedbar(1,2) show gra1 ' this looks ugly: too small, shifted to the left side of the graphics frame. 'How can it be manipulated to look better? freeze(mode=overwrite, gra2) bar(s) gr(1) gr(2) show gra2 'this look ok, but of course, it is not the mixed chart intended

It looks fine to me (and very similar to your bar graph). Could you produce a screenshot of how it looks for you?

Thanks for the reply; I must admit that I cannot replicate what I have got the other day, and indeed it looks fine now
So case resolved.
Best, mamo
